WONDERFUL FACTORY
COMPLICATED PROCESSES CAB
BIES ON IN HAN'S BODY.
Fourteen Elements Constantly Occu
pied in the Intricate Work
of the Physical Sys- «
You will probably be surprised, said
a well-known professor of chemistry,
when I tell you that the most beauti
ful woman or the most intellectual
man that ever lived is really nothing
more than animated white of egg; and
yet it is perfectly true that, if you
only knew how to do it, you could take
a few hundreds of eggs — you would
want, well, over 1,000, by the way —
and manufacture a second Shakespeare
or a Helen of Troy from them.
Unfortunately — or fortunately, rath
er — although the materials of which
man is composed are common enough,
the blending of them to form a living
being is far beyond any human pow
ers. But let us just run through the
constituents we are made of and see
of what very ordinary materials the
best and cleverest of us are composed.
If we take a 188-pound man and de
prive him of gas and carbon there will
be only five pounds of him left; while
even the least oratorical man that ever
lived .is five-sixths gas and nothing
else. Well may it be Bald: "We are
such stuff as dreams are made of," for^
truly we are just as insubstantial.
In our subject we shall find no less
than 118 pounds of oxygen; he con
tains as much, in fact, of this "vital
gas" as would fill a room 13 feet long,
ten feet wide and a shade over ten feet
high. If we proceed next to deprive
him of his hydrogen he will only lose
a little over 15 pounds of his weight
by the process, but the gas we procure
will fill a room more than twice the
size of our oxygen reservoir; for it
will be 15 feet square and as nearly
as possible 12 feet high, and will have
such buoyancy that it could carry our
patient up to the clouds.
Another essential gas is nitrogen, of
which our man has 64 cubic feet
stowed away in his body— sufficient to
fill a nice little hox four feet long, wide
and high. We have now deprived our
man of three of his 14 constituents;
have liberated gases sufficient to fill a
room, roughly, 20 feet square and ten
feet high — in which, by the way, you
could pack 500 good-sized men — and
have reduced his weight by 139 pounds.
There is not much left of him to ac
count for, you see, now that the three
gases are eliminated — only 29 pounds,
in. fact, the weight of an infant— and
of this a single other constituent takes
the lion's share of 24 pounds. This
constituent is carbon, that curious ele
ment which takes such widely diverse
forms as common coal and the Koh-i
.n00r,. and is not to be despised in the
lead pencil: Just as coaV 'keeps' our
houses warm and gives motive power
to the steam engine, so it supplies
energy and fuel to the human body.
We have now only five pounds of
our man to account for, and this is
distributed over nine most useful con
stituents. Two and a quarter pounds,
nearly half of it,- consist of calcium,
which will be more commonly recog
nized as lime, and which plays a very
important part in the human mechan
ism ; and to this we must ■ add one
pound 14 ounces of phosphorus. The
remaining constituents of our man
only weigh one pound one ounce, and.
consist of sodium, sulphur, fluorine,
chlorine, magnesium, potassium and
silicon; while in weight they range
from two to three grains to four and
one-half ounces.
Naturally, these 14 elements form
combinations in the body in order to
discharge their duties properly. Thus
oxygen and hydrogen combine to form
in oui\ subject 107.5 pounds of water,
which serves an infinite number of
most necessary and useful offices. The
chlorine and sodium unite to form
salt, of which we shall find about seven
ounces; and the sodium combines with
carbon and oxygen to form the "wash
ing soda" which has been called the
scavenger of the body, and which fills
in its time by playing a useful part in
building up our bones.
The body is indeed a most wonder
ful factory, carrying on a number of
useful and complicated processes at the
same time. Thus it makes really first
class soap by the hundredweight for
its own use, and glycerin, too, as a by
product; it manufactures sugar from
starch, and it makes gum, pepsin, al
cohol and othei products more wonder

Fires Which Never Go Out.
There are domestic fires burning in
Yorkshire to-day wbich have never
been out for hundreds of years.
At the old-fashioned farmhouses in
the dales of Yorkshire peat is still
burned. The fuel is obtained from
the moors, and .stacks of it are kept
by the farmers in their stack garths.
The country roundabout is noted
for its "girdle cakes," which are
made from dough in quaint pans sus
pended over the peat fires.
These fires are kept glowing from
generation to generation, and the eon
warms himself at the fire which
warmed his sire and bis grai'dsire and
bis grandsire's sire, and wbich will
warm his son and his eon's son.
There is a fire at Castleton, in tbe
Whitby district, which has been burn
ing for over 200 years. The record
probably is held by a farmhouse at
Osmotberly, in the same district.
This fire has been burning for 500
years, and there are records to show
that it has not been ont during the
last three centuries.— London Times.
Drink More Water.
While Americans are pretty good
bathers outside, a good bath inside
is really mote necessary than one out
side. Americans as a rule do not
drink water enough. We are told that
one reason for Japanese hardihood is
their large consumption of water,
which washes out the impurities of
the system and gives vigor and tone
to the body.
It is said that every one ought to
drink at least two quarts of water a
day, and it is doubtful if the average
American drinks more than a quart.
Try putting yourself on a diet of two
quarts for a few days, and realize
how it seems to drown. The best, in
fact the only lime to drink water, is
between meals. Mosi of us drink a
little water at meal time to wash
down the food, and let it go at that.
But this is not enough. The pre
valence of rheumatism is said to be
due to the small consumption of
water. Water is a simple cure for
many ailments.
Sees Bright's Disease
Under Surgery.
An operation so unusual that Rear
Admiral Suszuki, surgeon general of
the Japanese navy, traveled half
around the world to see it, was per
formed at the French hospital in New
fork, and to-day it was reported that
the patient—a woman— was in a fair
way to reoover.
This feat of surgery is known as
Edebobl'a operation for relief of
Brigbt's disease, and has never been
performed outside of this country.
The surgeon who first attempted it
claims he has effected several radical
cures of the disease but the operation
is so dangeroui that as yet few sur
geons have dared to resort to it. The
operation to day was
severe, as both kidneys were stripped
of their capsules at the same time to
restore the natural blood supply to
the degenerating tissues. The opera
tion is unique, in that the disease
itself is- not attacked but its remote
cause destroyed. The operation con
sisted of making a deep incision over
the kidney of the patient, and the
actual removal of the organ, while
the capsule that entirely coveied it
was cut away. It was then put back
in its place, and before the patient
recovered from the anaesthetic the
operation was repeated on the other
kidney.
Nature Needs Bat Little.
Nature needs only a .Little Early
Risers now and then to keep the
bowels clean, the liver active, and
the system free troin bile, headaches,
constipation, oto. The famous little
pills "Early Risers" are pleasant
m^eSect and perfect in action. They
never gripe or sicken, but tone and
strengthen the liver and kidneys.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE TAKES
POSITIVE ACTION.
Expresses Unqualfied Opposition to
Having Transportation Rates
Made by Commission.
The California State Board of
Trade has adopted the following pre
amble and resolution in opposition to
conferrin the power of iate-makiog
on the interstate commerce com
mission :
The California state board of trade
hereby expresses its unqualified oppo
sition to the policy of conferring
upon the interstate commerce com
mission the power to regulate rates
of [transportation upon interstate
commerce carried by the railroads of
the United Slates. ?.;;
The conferring of such power
would, in the opinion of this body,
convert the interstate commerce
commission into a board of traffic
managers for all the railroads carry
ing interstate traffic— a policy which
would be the equivalent of a merger
of such railroads and the extinguish
ment of every element of competition.
It wonld contravene the national
policy crystallized in what is known
as the anti-trust law, the provisions
of which were so successfully invoked
in resisting the merger of the North
em Pacific and tbe great Northern
Railroads.
It wonld vest the interstate com
merce commission with the power to
regulate the earning capacity of tbe
81, 400, 000, 000 invested in the rail
roads of the country and thus con
stituting that commission a potent
factor in the transportation business
of the country would confer npon
the railroads the moral right to enter
the arena of politics in their corpor
ate capacity as a measure of defense
against the possible arbitrary and
confiscatory exercise of this power.
It would engender at once sectional
strife between the different portions
ot tbe country as to the measure of
protection which this power of re
gulation might be invoked to confer
upon the various sections— a contest
in which the newer and more sparsely
settled regions of the United States
would suffer by reason of tbe over
mastering political power ot the popu
lous centers, and from this source of
danger the products of California are
especially menaced.
The export commerce in tbe green
citrus and deciduous fruits, the dried
and cured fruits, tbe vegetables, the
wine and tbe lumber products of
California must be carried an average
distance of over two thousand five
bandied miles to reach their center
of distribution in the United States.
These products compete with like
eastern products which are carried an
average distance of less than two
hundred and fifty miles. Owing to
the disparity in volume between the
east-bound and west- bound traffic,
tbe railroads have heretofore carried
the products of California tbe dis
tance noted and delivered them in
eastern markets at a rate that has
enabled them to successfully com
pete with like products in the freight
movement of wbich but one-tenth of
the distance has been covered.
That this fostering policy, referable
to the existing conditions of traffic,
would be continued under a political
control and direction of fi eight dis
tribution in tbe United Stated is not
even probable.
In view of these objections,
Be it resolved by thin board, that
the senators and representatives in
congress from the state of California
be requested to exercise their in
fluence and cast their votes against
the policy of conferring upon the in
terstate commerce commission the
power to fix the ratos ot transport
ation on tbe interstate commerce of
this country.
Almost Bled to Death.
John Prettyman, who occupies a
house with his brother, William,
neai the foot of Saratoga Hill, just
north of town, came near bleeding to
death last Monday afternoon under
peculiar circumstances. He observed
blood lying in pools about the floor,
and called his brother's attention to
the fact, at the same time nsking
him if he bad out himself, and was
answered in the negative. Ten John
arose from the chair in which he was
sitting and for the first time noticed
that the boot on is rigt toot was full
to overflowing with the crimson fluid
and also felt it spurting from the leg.
The brother hurriedly bound up the
wound and then summoned Dr. Brom
ley. On the arrival of the physician
he found that Prettyman had fainted
from the loss of blood, and would
have died had surgical assistance
been delayed a short while longer.
The hemorrhage was caused by the
rupturing of a large vein that had
been eaten into by a varicose ulcer
from which Mr. Prettyman had
suffered many years. -Banner.

SCIENCE SITTINGS.
Prof. Reickenbach is said to have
proven that 30 persons in 100 can see,"
in the dark, colored rays from the
human body and flashes from a mag
net •;
The "flicker" sometimes noticed in
lightning proves to be due to the fact
that several flashes — sometimes five or
six — follow one path too rapidly to he
separated by the eye. The trails shown
in photography of very bright flashes
are caused by incandescence produced
in the air for a very brief period.
A new product of the electric fur
nace has been introduced in France
under the designation calstonite. It
is a double carbide of barium and cal
cium, produced by M. J. Cartier, an
electro-metallurgist of Mancioux, which
decomposes on contact with water, like
calcium carbide.
s A, stereoscope star- chart is the suc
c£E*ul ntfv^ltjujf/r, E. Heath, the Eng
lish astronomer. "The'staya in a given
section of the heavens are drawn from
two points of view that are sup
posed to be 20 years apart, and un
der a , large stereoscope the double
view gives a rough but very instructive
impression of the stars floating in
space at an approximation to their
relative distances, instead of as points
against the dark background of the
Bky. The result is a most interest
ing one.
Electric waves and sensitive re
ceivers offer a means of performing
a variety of operations at a distance.
Prof. E. D. Branly has been trying to
attain such results, and has shown the
Paris academy an apparatus by which
he can start an electric motor, cause
incandescent lamps to glow; and cause
an explosion. These effects may be
produced or discontinued in any de
sired order, one after another. They
were chosen arbitrarily for experiment,
and it is possible to bring about at a
distance other mechanical action or se
ries of actions, or to work a compli
cated machine.

"FICTITIOUS FOOD-NAMES.
Delusion That Exists in the Terms"
Applied to Various Ar
ticles on Sale.
George K. Holmes, chief of division
of foreign markets, bureau of statistics,
of the United States department of ag
riculture, prepared for the year booh
of the department a treatise on th«
peculiarities of consumers in their sys
tems of marketing and the delusions
they allow themselves to be placed un
der or blunder into themselves. Th<
digest has been considered serviceabl*
for reprinting in pamphlet form undei
the title of "Consumers' Fancies."
■ The pamphlet points out the mistakt
people of small means make in always
selecting the choice or most expensive
cuts of meats, when many of the un
sought cheaper parts of the animal an
equally or even more nutritious. Ii
quotes a meat trade's journal on re
cent prices as follows: Porterhouse
steak, 20 cents; prime rib, 15 cents;
sirloins, 12V£ cents; round, 8 cents;
rump, 7 cents; neck pieces, about 5
cents, per pound, respectively. It com
ments in the following strain:
"Although eplcurlans admit and
chemists demonstrate that the nech
piece is toothsome and nutritious, ii
bears the lowest price. In fact it would
hardly be considered respectable tc
ask the butcher for a piece of the neck.
Perhaps a low order of proficiency in
the housewife's cooking in the past
gave the neck piece its low place. The
story might have been different • had
the housewife of former times pos
sessed the French housewife's ability
to utilize meats in the making of at
tractive and delicious dishes." The
point of the argument is that cheap
cuts are as good as dear when judi
ciously selected and properly cooked.
The pamphlet also treats of the de
lusion that «xists in the terms applied
to various subsistence commodities by
which their sale is influenced. Note
the following: "The amount of 'Can
ada' lamb sold in the United States is
enormous. The word 'Canada' has the
same magical effect upon lamb prices
that the word 'Philadelphia' has upon
spring poultry or that of 'Long Island'
qn fresh eggs. These fictions seem to
sell the product, and the eating public
appears to feel satisfied. By tacking
the word Canada on to his product the
butcher is enabled to get two cents
more per pound for it, or, if he ad
heres to normal prices his customers
think they are getting something un
usual for their money. In certainly 95
per cent, of the cases they are getting
plain domestic lamb, and about 50
times out of 100 are not getting lamb
at all, but mere mutton."
Many, other commodities are set
forth under their respective delusive
titles with the same unreserved treat
ment of the deceptions practiced in re
gard to them. A single illustration
would seem to he all sufficient, how
ever.
